  • (verse 2):
    Like sheep without a shepherd
    Don't know how to be alone
  • So we wander 'round this desert
    Wind up following the wrong gods home
     
  • The flock cries out for another
    They keep answering that bell
    One more starry eyed messiah
  • Meets a violent farewell
    Learn to be still

    Verse 3:
  • There's so many contradictions
    In all these messages we send
    Keep asking how do I get out of here
  • Where do I fit in
     
    Though the world is torn and shakin'
  • Even if your heart is breakin'
    It's waiting for you to awaken
    Someday you will
  • Learn to be still
     
    (F# B repeated over and over till end of song).
  • Learn to be still
     
    Just keep on running
  •  
    Keep on running....
     
  • Chords Used:
    F# 244322
    B x24442
  • C# x46664
    D#m x68876
    A#m 688666
  •  
    You can also use a capo at fret 2, and then the chords (relative to the capo)
    would be:
  • E 022100
    A x02220
    B x24442
  • C#m x46654
    G#m 466444
     
  • This is how I play Learn To Be Still by the Eagles. There is a capo on 2nd fret on all guitars, and the tab of the intro and solo reflects this tuning.
     
    define: C#m7 {x 1 3 1 2 1 4th}
  •  
    G#m7 {1 3 1 1 1 1 4th}
     
  • Intro:
     
    E-A-E-A-E-A-B
  •  
    The acoustic guitars play the first E-A, then an electric comes in and plays E-A, then another electric comes in and plays the following intro riff:
     
  • e:------------|
    B:-----------0|
    G:---------2--|
  • D:---4---2----|
    A:-2----------|
    E:------------|
  •  
    Sometimes the electric plays this:
     
  • H
    e:--------------|
    B:----0-2------0|
  • G:-2---------2--|
    D:---------2----|
    A:--------------|
  • E:--------------|
     
    Then the verse starts. The progression over the verse is as follows:
  •  
    Verse 1:
    [E] Just another day in pa[A]radise
  • [C#m7] As you stumble to your be[B]d.
    [E] You'd give anything to silence[A]
    [C#m7] Those voices ringin' in your [B]head.
  •  
    [C#m7] You thought you could find happi[A]ness
    [C#m7] Just over that green [A]hill.
  • [C#m7] You thought you would be [G#m7]satisfied,
    [A] But you never w[B]ill...learn to be sti[E]ll.
     
  • E-A-E-A
     
    Verse 2:
  • We are like sheep without a shepherd
    Who don't know how to be alone.
    So we wander 'round this desert
  • Wind up following the wrong Gods home.
     
    But the flock cries out for another,
  • And we keep answering that bell.
    One more starry-eyed Messiah
    Meets a violent farewell...learn to be still
  •  
    E-A-E-A-E-A-E-A
     
  • Bridge:
    [B] Now the flowers in your [A]garden
    [B] They don't smell so sweet [A] so sweet
  • [B] Maybe you've forgotten [C#m7] the Heaven lyin' at your [B] feet. Yeah Yeah Yeah.
     
    Then the solo comes in, and it looks something like this. The chords over the solo are E for 2 measures, A for 2 measures. This is done twice under the solo.

    Then back to the verse
  •  
    Verse 3:
    There are so many contradictions
  • In all these messages we send. (we keep askin')
    How do I get outta here?
    Where do I fit in?
  •  
    And though the world is torn and shakin',
    Even if my heart is breakin',
  • It's waiting for you to awaken
    And someday you will...learn to be still.
     
  • Outro:
    E-A-E-A-E-A-E-A
    Keep on runnin'
  • Just keep on runnin'
    Yeah.
